Uwezo Uganda, within the first year of its implementation has planned to scale up the pilot assessment of young people’s reading, writing and math. In 2019, we developed an approach to assessing functional/everyday reading, writing and math skills among young persons (14-20 years of age) in Wakiso district with support from Oxford Policy Management. The pilot assessment adapted the Uwezo methodology, infrastructure and experience in conducting learning assessments to generate evidence on what young Ugandans (14-20 years) can do in terms of everyday Young Persons’ functional reading, writing and math skills.
